That Devy looks cool... BBTS has a preorder for 2 Devy's (large and regular), I'm guessing this is the large sized up from the regular?
I still want the large translucent purple Megatron, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

The Super7 ReAction figures are small 3.75" figures that feature a very 1980's cartoony look and aesthetic, with very limited articulation. They have included a fairly decent cast so far that includes the likes of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and after the recent Toy Fairs are set to include even more cast members such as Alpha Trion and Devastator.
Check out the image shared by Super7 below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I'm trying to remember when the Dinobots used their swords in the G1 cartoon. Which episode was it again?

Well, only Grimlock and Snarl were shown to use theirs, but both were shown to be silver. Snarl used his in almost every episode he featured in, where he fired lasers from its tip. Grimlock used his in "Madman's Paradise" to swat away boulders.Seibertron wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote::-x Grimlock's sword is wrong, it should be silver.

Wow. I totally forgot about that (or didn't realize that). Thank you for letting me know.
Despite its usage, I would still think the red sword is far more well known than the minor usages of "silver" swords by Dinobots in the cartoon. Personally, I'm glad they used the red sword. I feel the red swords are far more iconic to the Dinobots than the silver swords like the packaging artwork.
Posted by ZeldaTheSwordsman on March 21st, 2020 @ 12:46am CDT
I wish the red swords weren't so iconic... I've always felt it looked bland compared to the shining silver... And Hasbro obviously wanted the swords to be silver (as with the Diaclone toys), judging by the packaging artwork, the cartoon, and the commercials. The swords (and Swoop's missiles and jaw, and Slag's horns) were only red because toy safety laws forced them to be cast in soft plastic, which couldn't be vacuum-metallized. And the bloody Marvel colorists just had to go based off the toys, and everybody since copied them...
Stupid Marvel... Although to be fair, also stupid BS&P. The Dinobots would probably have all used their swords in the cartoon, and more often, if the BS&P had been more lenient about swords in the '80s. But no.

Ah, but see... 1. There is no question that in the cartoon, Rumble was the name attached to that color scheme and 2. so long as both color schemes are correctly portrayed it scarcely matters which scheme is packaged with which name I just hope that when they get to his twin, they use actually black rather than substituting dark blue.AshelehsA wrote:Surprised Grimlock's sword color in the thing being discussed here, instead of the usual character and his relation to what color he should be...........

Toon-accuracy is what the majority want, & that's what Has/Tak is giving them. Not knocking anyone for loving it, but personally the style is not for me. I love Beast Wars, but as far as characters who turn into vehicles go, I lean more towards G1/G2, RID, & Binaltech/Alternators. Although I've had my eye on Armada Wheeljack for quite some time. ("Roger Rabbit treatment?" )

18$.

It's possibly your end that's having a technical issue? I can see the pictures just fine. I haven't been made aware that no one else can't see them, in any case.

Overquoting to point out that the pictures count as ADS.
So, you have to disable your adblock for Seibertron.
I always block ads on Seibertron because all those FLASHING GIFS are annoying as hell and I get to see some weird stuff for a TF site:
As for the toys themselves, it's a "meh". Look like Xmass tree decorations and those are the kind of things that MUST be kept sealed because the card itself is part of the whole display piece.
An easy pass for me.
Posted by ZeldaTheSwordsman on April 2nd, 2020 @ 4:28pm CDT
I wonder what Bounti did in that post that got the pics flagged as ads. Other news posts with externally-linked pics haven't had that problem.

Naive pleb? Hardly... In my younger, heavier collecting days I thought nothing of dropping money on collectibles (ex. $100+ for a single rare Kubrick, etc.), but, being older and having a home, kids, family, I find value is way more important. All of Super 7's products are awesome but their designer price tags just aren't.

18$ is NOTHING compared to a worst looking similarly sized figure packed in a freaking Ziplock bag that the base price is around 100$.
It have nothing to do with what you want to buy or why. I was simply pointing out that if you thought this was overpriced, something way worst existed. And even if I'd be rich like Scrooge Mc Duck, you'll never catch me buying a Yutani figure, ever.

It's unknown how limited these figures will be, so don't hesitate to grab them now from Super7's web shop if you're looking to add these exclusives to your ReAction collection.

It's possible it's to emphasize they're not the same characters as their "parents", plus how many times have we gotten direct Microchange references, including names, like that?

Perhaps Megatron X a la Cyberverse?
They're getting a surprising amount of mileage out of that Megatron mold. Regular, toy, and black decos if I'm remembering right. So I wonder what they'll choose for Prime's next deco? Nemesis Prime? Ultra Magnus white? Powered Convoy blue? SG Purple? I suppose there's no shortage of choices that I'm sure they'll exploit.

I am really looking forward to getting these in hand all at once; the ActionMaster feels on these are pretty crazy.
Neo retro, of sorts.
As much as i enjoy them doing the cast they have so far, to do some AMaster only characters in this line would tie it all together nicely.
Posted by ZeroWolf on December 11th, 2020 @ 4:54pm CST
Blitzwing
Perceptor
Dirge
Blaster
The ReAction line are Super7s way of homaging the action figure lines of the 80s with their lines logo looking like the old Kenner toys logo and the cards the figures coming in drawing the mind back to Kenners first Star Wars toy lines

But I really like that candy cane blaster. If it was 5mm, I might even buy Santa Prime just for it.
